What can be the problem, missing codec?
Earlier i reported this, but updated to the 22 july release. It didn't play.
But tried it again yesterday and now it does not give me a "unable to playback" message but it starts playing, only it stutters and is extremly slow unable to watch properly, but still is starts playing and that is positive for now. Is there anything i can do to improve the playback?

It's been stated before, the slow loading of fanart, which used to work more rapidly in other builds. It remains a problem in all the last nightlies.
I see that if I go into my TV series, which are only 3 series, they load well, lets say a 2sec delay. But for movies (600+) items it remains a drama, in practice it means I would have long started a movie before ever seeing its fanart, and so losing some of the wow factor of xbmc.
Is this something known? Would you like logs of it?

FWIW, I had a quick crack on the 27-07 build last night and fanart / thumb loading and playback start is still slow compared to the official 10-09. Seems about the same performance as the nightlies since then, no better no worse.

It looks like the code only multi-threads the codec for software decode of MPEG4 and H264. H264 uses hardware decode, so MPEG4 is the only possible benificiary of this change.
720p XviD files may start working. (I've not tested that).

I wish this was fixed, the official build with the scraper issue fixed would be perfect. All the nightlies since the official have the slow thumbnail loading.

All the nightlies since the official have the slow thumbnail loading.The fanart / thumb speed issue is frustrating but there's plenty of other benefits of being on the nightlies. For example the db version is in sync with other platform nightlies so sharing a mysql db between platforms is possible. And there's the warm fuzzy feeling you get from running the latest code.
I'm sure the dev's will get it fixed up in time.

Where can I found the latest nightly before the last release? I just installed the 7/27 and now my thumbnails are getting wacky with some blue tint and I'm wondering if its related to the nightly.
According to the first page, this link should take me there, but it keeps pointing me to the 7/27 nightly.

I have played 720p DIVX just fine before. I've been using a 1080p DIVX5 file straight from Divx's website as a test file. It averages ~11fps now, and it was the same previously. Not terribly concerned though.

Don't ask for old builds in this thread, that's not what this is for. Feel free to start another thread and ask if anyone has a copy of an older build.

Yeah, transcode the files into x264 mkv

This is only for ipad2 since only the A5 is multicore, the A4 is singlecore.
And in theory this is for anything with software decoding, not just MPEG4.

Well I mean non-hardware files in my comment but you confirmed my suspicion anyways.
Nfs - Konrad77 - 2011-07-29
Hi!
Does the nightly builds support NFS by "Adding video source"? (xbmc.2011-07-27)
Do I manually need to add/update libnfs?
Anyone got NFS working in the nightly?
Tnx.
- Memphiz - 2011-07-29
yes, no, yes ... did you look into the nfs threads? Else don't discuss your problems here but use an existing thread or make a new one...
